On tap at Skagen Pub. A lightly hazy dark golden colored beer with a dense, finger-thick white head. The aroma has some diacetyl, as well as bread crust, caramel and a touch of prune. It's medium bodied and sweet, not much bitterness or carbonation going on. Diacetyl, bread, toffee and some dark dried fruit in the flavor. Medium length finish. Not much interesting going on here, it's quite bad actually. 241214
